Yes, I just realized that my example from the fontspec manual was not 
exactly parallel to the situation I have.  However, doing it as Gareth 
suggests generates all sorts of nasty error messages.

I just tried specifying the bold etc. by font file names; no errors, but 
no bold in the document either.

I'll study this more tomorrow when my brain is working better.
